An intravenous infusion contains 25,000 units of heparin in 250mL D5W. The rate of infusion was set at 15 units / kg /hr. The patient weighs 160 pounds. Calculate the a) Concentration of heparin, b) the length of time of infusion, c) the dose of heparin administered to the patient on a unit/ min basis.
a)
concentration =
b)
rate of infusion
for a 160 pound patient rate of infusion
total units = 25,000 units.
time of infusion
c)
